A few days ago, the journal eLife published a self-study on the first year of its new publishing model, and it is well worth a look. Here are some notes based on my own experience with the journal as author and reviewing editor: markusmeister.com/2024/03/17/a-y….

NAISys -- NeuroAI meeting CSHL Sept 28-Oct 4 save the date...and Abstract Deadline July 12

Exciting announcement: I have joined Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory as an assistant professor. My lab will focus on NeuroAI – figuring out how neural networks (bio & silico) represent and process information.

Wishing a warm welcome to new CSHL Fellow Mitra Javadzadeh, who joined our neuroscience faculty! Her lab studies neural computations behind visual perception and the ways in which the brain processes visual information. 🧠 cshl.edu/mitra-javadzad…

We need your help for TENSS to carry on and inspire the next generations of neuroscientists. Logistics costs have increased and funding sources are becoming scarcer. We are counting on support from the community. Please donate! gofund.me/a8e6ad34

To everyone who has been shocked and depressed by the staggering 40% cut to the BRAIN Initiative: we have a voice! Outside Witness Testimony (aka written testimony) for the FY 2025 appropriations cycle is ongoing. Deadline for the House side is Friday May 3 and the Senate side

Our work on a one-to-one mapping between deep network units and neurons in the fruit fly visual system is published! dynamic stimuli, interesting behavior, a full connectome, deep networks---it's an exciting time to be fruit fly modeling! nature.com/articles/s4158… nature

TENSS2024 has started...thanks to all the wonderfully generous and enthusiastic people who are making it happen...yet again!!!

OpEd in InsideSources by Doris Tsao, Tony Zador and I laying out the case for support of the BRAIN initiative. On the cusp of so much, this really matters. Critical Brain Research Faces a Massive Funding Shortfall dcjournal.com/critical-brain…

final projects and a testimonial..."a unique opportunity to break out of the bubble we live in, both mentally and physically. You won't settle for incomplete answers, you won't shy away from challenges, and there will always be someone to turn to when you need help."

Why is reality so slow? Why can we only have one thought at a time? Why do we need so many neurons? Will Elon Musk's Neuralink really speed up his cognition? For answers and more questions check out our new review: "The Unbearable Slowness of Being". arxiv.org/abs/2408.10234
